That's according to industry insider Dr. Serkan Toto, who told Twitter followers that the mysterious new console's reveal date might have been pushed back.

Wall Street Journal technology reporter, Takashi Mochizuki, previously said that the Nintendo NX was going to be announced this week. Dr. Serkan Toto appears to have been told otherwise.

"No trolling intended and take this one with a big grain of salt, but I was told not to expect a NX reveal this week. Might be wrong! //end," Dr. Serkan Toto tweeted.

In slightly better news, Nintendo will HAVE to talk about the Nintendo NX during next week's Q2 earnings report.

"PS: I was told that Nintendo *will* talk about NX next Wednesday (Q2 earnings), but that's not really news: they *have* to then," he added.

Forbes, meanwhile, warns that Nintendo could find a gap in the market if it launches with a cheaper $200 price tag, while video game insider Emily Rogers told Twitter follwers that the company was working on a "weird, fun and crazy" game for the upcoming NX console.

"New IP coming to NX from one of Nintendo's teams in Japan," Rogers tweeted. "Described as weird, fun and crazy. 'Nintendo doesn't have another game like this'."
